Abstract
Page's proposal to stipulate representations in which individual units corr espond to meaningful entities is too unconstrained to support effective the orizing. An approach combining general computational principles with domain -specific assumptions, in which learning is used to discover representation s that are effective in solving tasks, provides more insight into why cogni tive and neural systems are organized the way they are. are.
